Looks like a warning. Does running myprogram.exe work as expected?

[ShenHongFei]

Yes, work as expected

If you don't think it's important, you can close this issue.

I think the reason why this happened is because you were attempting to embed the JS file into the official node binary, which is code signed by default by the Node.js Foundation identity. Could you try removing the signature using signtool.exe first and then check if postject works without warnings? You could sign the final executable again with your own signature if you want at the end.

Great, the warning disappeared successfully. Thank you very much!

I've sent a PR to document this in the steps in the Node.js docs - nodejs/node#46764
